Troubleshooting Dev Container issues
The following are some issues that might arise and solutions that can help you during your work with Dev Containers.
I have the Empty Building Dev Container dialog with disabled buttons
Try to check Docker, and if it hangs, restart it.
For Windows 10, connection by SSH is very slow
Upgrade the OpenSSH version to 8.5 or later.
Git clone doesn't work and the opened project in client is empty despite added keys
Try to check the following:
Check if the OpenSSH Client is in your PATH in the System variables: C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ and restart OS.
Run commands for running SSH agent and add keys.
Make permissions for SSH keys not so "open" to be able to add keys, otherwise the adding fails.
The password is requested even if it is specified in settings
The case with the password authentication is not yet supported, as we use git clone
by using Docker, and it doesn't support passwords as args in this scenario.
